House

"A little house,

a house of my own,

out of the wind's and

rain's way..."

Welcome friends stopping by from Julia"s Hooked on Fridays fun~ola.

So here is what I am forever and ever~more hooked on in the biggest 'hooked on' way possible...anything 'HOUSE'.  The classic shape of a house is so appealing to me...conjures up ideas of family and friends, pots of soup to stir, lawns to clip, shelves to lovingly dust...a haven for rest and place to gratefully nurture those we love...yep, I am hooked on 'house'.

A child's dollhouse is a whimsical shelf for items gleaned...

Baby bird house...enough said...

A house might contain more than people folk...how 'bout pine branches and cones of pine...

I will be making these 'house' drop cloth pillows filled with buckwheat hulls...till the cows come...and I love, love making them...I am hoping that those cows NEVER come home...

You know how you have something you love and feel a kind of addiction to that item?  You see it in a catalog or in a shop and you go weak in the knees and you think ~..."can't afford it...but can't live without it...but what the hay~ho...we will eat macaroni and cheese for a week...I must have this in my life...you know what I am talking about...but then after a year or so it passes and you grow wearing of looking at the do~dad...sick of seeing it around every corner and in every catalog???  Well, I am here to tell you...I will never tire of the classic shape of a 'House"...cha, cha, cha!

Thanks again to Julia at Hooked on Houses for making us all hooked on houses!
